Tony Hawks to be ‘reinvented’

Aside from announcing Call of Duty 5, Mike Griffith the CEO of Activision also promised that the new Tony Hawk’s will be a reinvention of the series.

He stated that a new technology was being used to create a DS skating game which has not yet been seen on a handheld. That’ll be out later this year.

The console title will be due sometime after April 2009, but could land as late as 2010 as they promise a two year development plan “to deliver the kind of breakthrough that the franchise needs”.

Griffith went on to say: “For competitive reasons we’re not going to talk about it today, but we’re very bullish on the kind of innovation this will bring. This won’t be your father’s Tony Hawk”.
